Veterinary program honors donor with hospital name change
University of Georgia
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — The University of Georgia is honoring a donor who gave more than $13 million to the school's College of Veterinary Medicine.
School officials say they have changed the name of a college facility to the Cora Nunnally Miller Small Animal Teaching Hospital. Miller gave more than $33 million to various programs at the university during her life. She died in July of 2015.
College of Veterinary Medicine Dean Sheila Allen says Miller loved horses, dogs and the field of veterinary medicine. Allen says Miller didn't want her gifts acknowledged during her life but officials wanted to honor her.
She says students will benefit from Miller's donations for years.
